Reducing Electricity Theft by Low Frequency Control Scheme in Bangladesh
Md. Saiam,Shah Md. Salimullah,Md. Shoab Akther,Md. Zahidul Islam,Tanjir Hossain Bhuiyan +4 more
- 19 Dec 2020
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented an advanced protection method to protect the electricity theft directly from the distribution line, where the system converts the frequency of electricity into 6Hz to 7Hz range, and in the consumer end, it again converted the frequency into 50Hz by using an authorized meter.
